Overview
The Department of Biology engages and supports students in a dynamic learning environment that promotes a broad,
integrated, and interdisciplinary understanding of biological systems. The introductory biology curriculum emphasizes
the core concepts and competencies described by the National Science Foundation in Vision and Change, and upperdivision
courses provide an opportunity to develop greater depth in select areas. The department supports a variety
of interdisciplinary programs and encourages joint student-faculty research projects.
